The Impossible Fortress
Tietoa kirjasta
From the author of the New York Times bestseller The Last One at the Wedding—a sweet coming-of-age story about young love that’s an “endearing, full embrace of the late 1980s” (USA TODAY) and a delightful blend of humor, heart, and the universal experience of growing up.
Fourteen-year-old Billy Marvin is living the dream of every nerd in New Jersey. His days are filled with endless debates over pop culture icons, late-night video game programming on his beloved Commodore 64, and the simple joys of friendship. But when Playboy magazine releases photos of Wheel of Fortune’s iconic Vanna White, Billy's world is turned upside down.
Enter Mary Zelinsky, a brilliant and equally geeky girl who challenges Billy in ways he never expected. As their friendship blossoms, Billy finds himself navigating the complexities of first love, all while hatching a plan with his friends to get their hands on the coveted magazine.
Described by Newsweek as " thoroughly escapist joy," The Impossible Fortress is a testament to the power of nostalgia and the timelessness of falling in love. Fans of Stranger Things and those who cherish pop culture and 80s nostalgia will find themselves transported back to a time when life was simpler, yet full of joyful anticipation.
